Wow, some great points! Thank you very much. I will look to adjust my build accordingly.

Hi Overclockers! I've decided to treat myself to a late Christmas present in the form of a new PC. I've been reviewing components for the last few days and would appreciate any thoughts or feedback: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE SiStorm...

Hello Overclockers :D, The time has come for my third purchase of a new computer using Overclockers and I would love to hear any feedback on it before I hit 'Buy'. Gainward GeForce GTX 580 "GOOD Edition" 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £383.99 Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz...

Hi, Going to pre-order Windows 7 but looking at the list, unlike with Vista, there isn't a 32bit and 64bit version rather there is just a single product. Are both versions available on a single disk? In other words, I want the 64bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium so if I buy the "Microsoft...

Hey Guys, Never had a cinema setup before or a HDTV so I've been looking around and I'm thinking of getting these two items: TV: 50" Panasonic TH-50PZ700 Plasma Digital TV Full 1080p HD (probably the CAB version that comes with the cabinet). AMP+Speakers: Panasonic SC-PT850EBK Tower Speaker...

Hi all, Quick question. Just purchased a retail Q6600 and have inserted into my motherboard and placed on the heatsink/fan (following the instructions provided) and realised nowhere does it mention applying any thermal grease... which is handy as I don't have any. Is this normal? Are you...

Ok guys. I've taken the feedback you've given and come up with this: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/417/pcwu6.jpg I'll order it tomorrow so I get it on Tuesday hopefully. If you see any last minute changes I should make I'd like to know... ideally before tomorrow morning! :p...

Wow! Thanks for all the input guys. I really appreciate it. I will be changing the CPU to the 95W one. I meant to click that originally. :D I got that memory because is was 1066Mhz which is the FSB of the CPU which I presumed (probably incorrectly) was the best match. I guess this isn't the...

Hi Guys, If you could please take a look at the contents of my shopping basket and let me know what you think, any potential problems, etc. before I buy, I'd be very grateful. http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/7821/pcpg1.jpg Some information that'll show where I'm coming from: I'm buying...

Hi Guys, I'm looking into getting a projector for the first time and have set my eyes on the EMP-TW1000. This will be used primarily for playing games, watching movies and such. :D I've never had or used a projector before and am just looking for some advice on the actual physical setup...

Cool, what about instructions, drivers and such, do they still come with it?

Thanks, I'm going to post a final spec sometime in the future. I think I'm falling into the trap that you mentioned above where I'm paying a premium for components that are designed to be overclocked when I'm not going to take advantage of them. So I could save a small fortune just sticking with...

Thanks for the advice. I've never overclocked before and I've had a brief look at guides and such but it seems pretty complicated with a lot of things that can go wrong. It comes down to me not really having the time or desire to look into it. I just want to put it all together with the stock...

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a new computer within the next month or so. I've decided on the processor, the Q6600 and would just like to know the optimal memory speed to be used with this processor? I've not picked out a motherboard yet so I'm not restricting myself. Rather, I want...

Hi all, I'm planning a new build in the next month or so and just picking what bits and pieces I want to go in it. I think I'm going to go for Core 2 Quad Pro Q6700 CPU which has a 1066FSB. Now I'm confused, does this mean it has to have / works best with 1066Mhz memory? So something like...

Great, thanks for the reply!

Hi All, Currently I'm dual booting Windows XP and Ubuntu 7.04 using GRUB (both installed on separate hard drives). The time has come to format my Windows XP drive and reinstall it. Now if I'm remembering correctly the re-installation of Windows XP will reset the MBR removing GRUB. Obviously I...

Thanks for the info, whitecrook, apprectiated!
